Which contest will be tougher for our feral champion of the wilderness to face - the savage, claws-out battle for domination of her jungle home, or the savage, claws-out battle for domination of... the world's most exclusive girl's boarding school? Yup, Cardwell Inc. is betting that some formal education will teach their long-lost, "raised by wolves" scion the niceties of civilization - while also conveniently removing her from her beloved Val Verde rainforest while they continue to relentlessly exploit it!
But while you can take the girl out of the jungle, you can't take the jungle out of the girl - and when Sheena discovers the sc more
Privileged students discover spirituality as powerful interests threaten the indigenous inhabitants of the forbidden zone in Sheena Queen of the Jungle: Fatal Exams #1. Read Full Review

The right elements are in place for a really good story. However, there's a lot of potential silliness that seems quite ready to swoop in at nearly every corner of the plot.

SHEENA: QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE FATAL EXAMS #1 kicks off a new adventure when Sheena goes undercover at an elite girls school to investigate attacks on a nearby nature preserve.

Sheena's school life can bring the pace down a bit too much at times, but there's still fun moments in these sequences as well.
